A gap in the grand prix calendar was a chance for the Running Showcar team to head for the streets of Hong Kong today in the Red Bull Dragon Run.

More than 43,000 spectators lined Lung Wo Road, to watch Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari put the Red Bull Racing Showcar through its paces and perform short sprints, burnouts, engine breaks and donuts.

Afterwards Jaime said: “I am very happy to get the chance to visit this energetic and fast-paced city. Hong Kong is not unlike the Formula One driver's life – always progressive, professional and concentrated. I love driving an F1 car, and it's great fun driving it away from the race track, to be able to drive an F1 car on the streets of Hong Kong, one of the busiest cities in the world, is crazy, so I am very fortunate to accomplished that.”

Superbike and drift show demonstrations plus high speed car formations were the support acts to the Showcar spectacular. There were also the great and good of Hong Hong on hand to see the action and try their hand on the Red Bull Racing simulator including Hong Kong racing drivers Darryl O’Young and Poon Siu-Fan, Hong Kong team football player Lo Hwan-yu, 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games Men’s Windsurfing Champion CHAN King-yin and aspiring go-kart driver, and brilliantly named, Jacky Chan.
